College Football USA 96 Rom editor
This is a ROM editor for College Football '96 (Sega Genesis). With this editor you can edit various attributes of every player for every team in the game. I have not had time to thoroughly test it but if anyone is interested in this editor, I would encourage you to test it and let me know of any bugs or if anything else could be improved upon.
The following player attributes are editable :
Player number, Weight, Speed, Quickness, Intelligence, Range, Hands, Accuracy
Block and Tackle
The README explains in more detail about the editing. The user would use the straight hex codes to edit. I provided a conversion chart to explain the hex to numerical edits. It looks like game just used a lookup table for player attributes.

I have started to build the editor tool in C#. This will take me a bit of time that will be extremely basic but you will be able to pick of the 118 teams in a dropdown list and be able to edit some of the attributes of the player data and save it back to the updated rom. I basically have to still code out the mechanism so when a user selects a team via the dropdown list it will auto-populate the attributes in the text boxes automatically. Also, I need to convert the hex code into regular numerical information that is displayed in the game pertaining to quickness, speed, intelligence etc.

I have not yet started updating the rosters. I was asking the community if anyone could get started creating an editor because I know editing the raw hex for 118 teams would be an immense undertaking. Also, I was looking for spreadsheet data that have the ratings for all the teams and position players that have been created for modded updates for NCAA 14 that updated the players and rosters to 2018. I could use that data to approximate player ratings in CFB 96 but as of yet I have not found the data on the internet, even though I am sure it exists.

Has anyone here built the actually rom editor tools such as an easy way to choose players or numbers and update the hex code automatically?
I would like to be able to build a tool to do this for CFB '96 for the genesis or NBA Action '94 but not sure where to start. I have done a little bit of programming but have not build a full application. Is this done in the .NET environment using C# or can it be done in Python then build an .exe. I am looking for some advice from smarter people than myself.
Thanks!

Has anyone thought of doing a ROM edit for College Football USA '96. The hex offsets are easy enough to find for player numbers and attributes. I just do not know a simple way of inputting the attribute ratings of other college football games into the ROM and there is no ROM editor for the game except for editing via hex.
HEX CODE = 12 3C BB 75 C7
12 = NUMBER
3 = DETERMINES WEIGHT SOMEHOW
C = QUICKNESS
B = SPEED
B = INTELLIGENCE
7 = RANGE
5 = POWER
C = ????
7 = ????

Hello:
I am looking for help from people who have much more experience in modding than I do. I am working on editing the Atp Championship ROM for the genesis to include players nowadays (e.g. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, etc as well as the legends.) I have located the hex code to update attribution and textual values, however I have not been able to find images. The ROM itself contains black and white images for all the players that already in the game. I would need to create my own bitmaps and update the images. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find the location of these images, how to find and/or edit images in TM?
I would appreciate any assistance.
